The Food Principle

From New Nordic to new normal. How the Danes are strengthening community through food and social consciousness. We’ll meet one of the original architects of the New Nordic Manifesto, along with with two gifted community builders leading Denmark into its next decade of food leadership through social gastronomy.

While the spirit of social consciousness courses through the veins of Danes, is it possible for the transformative power of community mindedness to ripple out beyond Denmark?

Appalachia is a land of paradoxes. How can a place so rich in biodiversity, natural beauty, and living culture suffer decade after decade from poverty and neglect? With the help of some fearless female community leaders, we’ll explore these seemingly contradictory elements and learn how food is being used in Appalachia as a vehicle for healing and recovery.

Appalachians write their own future, one in which deep roots are celebrated and communities rise together, hand-in-hand with stewardship of the land.
